How do i fix an anterior talofibular ligament severe sprain (no tear)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually no surgery: The vast majority of sprains are treated conservatively with ice, nsaids, and therapy sometimes in grade 3 sprains, if the patient shows instability, one might need a recon- structive procedure to alleviate potential instability.
